LOCAL CHURCH EXPERIMENT SECTION ONE: CONTEXT QUARTER INTRODUCTION SPRING QUARTER MANUAL Page: 4

CONTEXT FOR THE QUARTER The spring quarter marks an important turn in the Local Church Experiment. Where as the basic thrust of the experiment, during the winter quarter was either the study of the Local Church documents or the completion of the 4th quarter of tactical actualization, the thrust of the spring is the 1st quarter tactics. For new churches this will be their 1st quarter of tactical actualization. For local churches who have been in the experiment this past year, the spring quarter marks the completion of their first year and the beginning of their second year of tactical actualization. All churches therefore who are doing tactical actualization should be doing the tactics for the first quarter of tactical actualization. This quarter also marks the beginning of the "warboard" methodology of tactical actualization for all 36 Galaxies on the North American Continent. Each auxiliary unit needs to create its own warboard using the guidelines outlined in the Tactical Actualization Manual (Winter '72). The recommendation is that all of the warboards in any one galaxy be made of the same material, be the same size, and have the same imaginal design in order to symbolize the oneness of the galaxy and its corporate thrust in the task of reconstruction.

QUARTERLY CELEBRATIONS The Week 12 Sodality is an appropriate time for celebration since no formal tertiary actualization takes place in Week 13. The celebration could thus take place in the sodality time allotment and should be considered as a normal corporate event for the whole galaxy. It should be planned as a very discontinuous happening. A journey designed for the whole evening is the crucial element which enables the celebration to be not just "another night out" but a great happening in the life of the galaxy. A spatial discontinuity for some or all of the celebration is also of high value. Hors d'oeuvres at the place of gathering, a play, movie, or physical activity (walking, dancing, etc.) and a late dinner in a private room of a restaurant provides one dynamic in which a journey can be planned. A dinner in a restaurant becomes more than an ordinary occasion if the galaxy bring its own decor, encourage "spontaneous" solos, poetry reading, speeches etc., and climaxes with corporate toasts. Whatever the evening, the critical value is to have a highly intentional structured evening that is fun, discontinuous, not too expensive, and one that begins to signal the kind of celebration that the reconstructed congregation of the future will enact.

LOCAL CHURCH EXPERIMENT SECTION ONE: CONTEXT TACTICAL ACTUALIZATION SPRING QUARTER MANUAL Page: 5
For "New" Local Auxiliaries Turning on the whole system	In initiating the tactical model, the crucial image is that of turning on the whole system in the first week. A tactical revolutionary implements his entire model far social change in his first move. Several key dynamics in this experiment enable this to happen: the first dynamic has to do with operating tactically relative to the major contradiction. Using the tactical model as a dynamic interplay of planning and action, to initiate actualization planning relative to the entire model is, in effect, initiating the system. Thus in creating the actual battleplans for Corporate Structures (5) and Liturgical Reformulation (13) and beginning systematically to deal with them in the first week, one is setting the system in motion. The second key comes into play at this point as the electric grids (master and local) enable one to see the dynamic interrelatedness of the entire system. As one does a particular supplementary activity, the related tertiary affects the tactic which affects the whole system. Tactics 5 and 13 together are one of the most powerful (in terms of relational effects) combinations in the system. Tactic 5 directly affects all 36 primary tactics and tactic 13 affects 34 of the 36 tactics. Implementing these two tactics together in the first week thus "lights up" or "strikes" every other arena of the tactical system. Again, each of these tactics are actually initiated the moment a supplementary activity is done. The most important aspect of implementing tertiary tactics has to do with the cruciality of symbolization. Every tertiary which is called for in the first week must be symbolic-ally initiated. This means that in terms of a broad model, the system is implemented symbolically in a week and actually in a year. At every point in the timeline then, the accumulation of tactical maneuvers initiated and intensified serves to actualize the entire system.
For "old" Local Auxiliaries Tactical System Intensification	In implementing the tactical model in quarter one of the second year, the principal operating image is the intensification of the whole system. This will result from emphasis being placed upon two dynamics of the system: firstly, the tertiaries are to be "fired" into every part and every structure in the life of the congregation and cadre. With its acquired tactical skill and deeper insight into its local church, the auxiliary unit can now mount a much more comprehensive attack on the contradictions of its local church. Secondly, the increased strength of the cadre after a year in the experiment, plus the increased weight given to the congregation's responsibility for the parish, produce the possibility of a "push­pull" thrust at the congregation. Greater responsibility for the entire programmatic and spirit life of the congregation combines with greater emphasis on turning the congregation's attention toward the parish during this year. Thirdly, as the auxiliaries see the change in the contradictions in their church from the same time last year, they have a first­hand experience of the effect of the system. This provides a positive push toward continuing their weekly labors and using the most enabling supplementaries for the sake of the whole process of reconstruction.

LOCAL CHURCH EXPERIMENT SECTION ONE: CONTEXT SODALITY/COUNCIL SPRING QUARTER MANUAL INTRODUCTIONS Page: 6

THE SODALITY

SODALITY CONTEXT The sodality is the basic structure through which the local auxiliaries meet weekly as the galactic auxiliary. The form and structure of this meeting is utterly crucial. It must be an intentional structure in which a regular pattern of events is established as the sodality time design. Copies of the format should be stenciled for each member of the galaxy. Welding galactic corporateness, grounding the Word in every dimension of the auxiliary member's lives, and creating the weekly battleplans for actualizing tertiaries in each local congregation are the crucial elements of the sodality. Well contexted singing, simple intentional decor, rituals, worship, and depth conversations are keys to welding corporateness and sustaining the auxiliary on the long march. The spirit conversations this quarter will be a tool to enable the auxiliaries to stand present to the awe in the midst of the mundaneness of their particular march. The study of common memory papers allows RS­I to be grounded again and again in the lives of the auxiliary. And finally battle planning becomes the place where the auxiliary focuses and timelines its concrete tactical procedures for doing the Word in their local congregations.

THE COUNCIL

COUNCIL CONTEXT The weekend councils are the regular extensive periods in which tertiary actualization, advanced courses, continental consults and other movemental activities provide intensive in­depth training. Each weekend needs to be imaged as a time when radical decisions are being made by individuals and a new Galactic corporateness is being developed. Each council should be intentionally structured with a definite beginning and ending time. All tactical actualization sessions should be surrounded by spirit nurture in the form of well contexted singing, canonical hours, rituals, and great scripture conversations. Adequate plans for tactical actualization are created only by the man who is standing at the center of Being looking at his local situation. Thus, the spirit happenings in the midst of demanding planning sessions is the crucial dynamic of the weekend.

LOCAL CHURCH EXPERIMENT SECTION TWO: SODALITY SPRING QUARTER MANUAL SODALITY DECOR CONSTRUCT Page: 8

CONTEXT	The decor of the sodality continues to be a critical factor in the ongoing life and spirit of the Local Church Experiment. The emphasis relative to decor this quarter is on commonness throughout the galaxies of the North American continent. The following therefore constitutes the recommendation for the decor of the sodality for the spring quarter.
ALTAR	For the center of the room ­ on low table, covered with altar cloth that is the appropriate color relative to the church year. The altar should also include a figure or statue to symbolize the Mystery, incense to symbolize the ascending prayers, bread and wine to symbolize the Holy Presence, the candle to symbolize the Eternal Light, and the bowl and stones to symbolize the creatures.
CONTEXTUAL CHART	The contextual chart symbolizes the Local Church Experiment as a tactical system and is thus an important part of the continuing decor. The printed charts are available through Regulation Centrum.
INCLUSIVE CONTRADICTION AND STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE CHART	This chart also symbolizes the Local Church Experiment in its tactical dimension. This two­piece chart is available from Regulation Centrum. If space is limited, this is probably the more critical chart to use in the decor model relative to the week­by­week tactical battleplanning.
9 NRM CHARTS	These charts are our best symbol and tool for the New Religious Mode and should be displayed at each meeting. They should be displayed in the characteristic way that indicates the journey to the center.
CONTINENTAL GRID WITH 36 GALAXIES	This chart will have to be created in the galaxy. It is important to hold the continental scope of the experiment and to symbolize the move from 20 galaxies to 36.
GLOBAL GRID	With the priority on the "World" for the next four years and with the necessity of holding ourselves ever before the comprehensive spatially, this grid is critical. The centrum recommends the white tape on black board model that was used in our March meeting.
REGIONAL GRID	This grid is particularly critical for those galaxies in regions that have more than one galaxy. If space is limited, this grid would be third priority grid in the construct.

LOCAL CHURCH EXPERIMENT GALACTTC DATA INTERCHANGE SECTION TWO: SODALITY SPRING QUARTER MANUAL Schedule Page: 9
CONTEXT	Every Galaxy's participation in the Galactic Data Interchange makes possible a weekly continental network of shared happenings and insights across the experiment. The schedule for sending in your reports corresponds to the Week II "Track" of your Galaxy, to enable consistent reporting. The categories of data will continue to be: SIGNAL EVENT, CONTRADICTION, IMPERATIVE, and MIRACLE STORY. The miracle story is an imaginal relating of a happening in the L.C. X. and is to be submitted with each report.

LOCAL CHURCH EXPERIMENT SECTION TWO: SODALITY COMMON MEMORY STUDIES SPRING QUARTER MANUAL Page: 14
CONTEXT	This study construct is designed to enable the auxiliaries to deepen their grounding in the common memory of the movement and to provide an opportunity for indirect pedagogy relative to the spirit life of the galaxy. The teaching approach should emphasize brief contexting, thorough grounding in life, short courses on relevant movement/order wisdom, anecdote from our history, and intentional indirect address to spirit block. The principal method is a short, focused seminar.

LOCAL CHURCH EXPERIMENT SECTON TWO: SODALITY SPRING QUARTER MANUAL page: 22 SODALITY NOTES
Spiritual Corporateness Singing Accountability Absolution Worship Meal Meal rituals Spirit Conversation Celebrations Data Interchange Announcements	These may be used by the Prior as a basis for his own continuing contextualization of the Sodality construct. Initiates sodality, corporate self­consciousness, recalling missional stance, direct group spirit. Actual accountability articulates decisional presence of total body. Those absent are accounted for. Rehearsal of faith stance, life posture in the Word. A fundamental symbol of humanness, context for sodality. Self­conscious marking of the opening and closing of the meal, decision to be present to the meal from beginning to end. A point of recovery of ontological self­consciousness. The personal events celebrated hold the significance of the individual as related to the universal. The birthday as the particular unrepeatable uniqueness of the individual, celebrated in the midst of all mankind. The celebration of the marriage vows is to rehearse again the decisional aspect, to hold accountable to the faithfulness of the vows and to absolve the past as the Lord's gift. Reading of report, continental/global contextualization. Include a two­minute galactic brainstorm of signal event, contradiction, imperative, and miracle story, to be gestalted and written by assigned person every other week. For the corporate life of the body.
Intellectual Reflection Context 2. Study	The study dynamic is always related through the Word to the mission. Pushing the knowing dimension to the edge, expression of humanness on behalf of all.
Tactical Battleplanning Context 2 . Solitary Office 3. Sendout . . .	Setting the tactical action in relation to development of local church, entire L.C.X. and the future of civilization. The final depth push enabling the appropriation of interior life and stance in the decision to be mission. The final context articulating the comprehensive, futuric intentional style of the Galaxy.

LOCAL CHURCH EXPERIMENT SECTION THREE: COUNCIL SPRING QUARTER MANUAL Page: 24 SPRING COUNCIL DESIGNS
OVERVIEW	In order to authenticate the effectiveness of the Local Church Experiment as the means of renewal it is imperative that all members of the galaxy participate fully in all aspects of the experiment, in particular in each of the six Week II Councils. The councils take place for each galaxy on an "odd track " or "even track" schedule.
1 TACTICAL PLANNING COUNCIL	The first week II of the Galaxies tactics (not scheduled for an advanced course or consultation) needs to be utilized for completion of Mod. I for the spring quarter, construction of war boards, creation of decor, and other tactical "catch­up". See the T/A Manual.
2 ADVANCED COURSE PARTICIPATION	Recruitment and participation in the New Individual and New Society course (if scheduled for the galaxy) or participation in another advanced course as a corporate galactic event.
3 CONTINENTAL GALACTIC CONSULT	A time to hear what is happening across the continent and to deal with the issues facing the Experiment. Regulation Centrum and a Galactic Interchange couple will do the Consult.
4 CONTRADICTIONS/ STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES COUNCIL	The contradictions and strategic objectives for the Summer quarter for each church are written during a Week II Council in mid quarter, using the Tactical Actualization Manual.
5 REGIONAL COUNCIL	The attendance of the galactic auxiliaries dramatizes the one missional thrust of the Region and the Movement toward the local church on behalf of the world.
6 MOD I COUNCIL	Each congregation chooses the supplementaries for the 11 new Tactics, completes the tactical actualization cards, and places the appropriate 144 cards on their war board in readiness for summer quarter. Use the T/A Manual.
